TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Posted by Pastor Mark Hunnicutt
We are honored that you chose to worship with us today.
As part of worship, we ask everyone in the service to fill out a CARE card. On your
CARE card, you can relay any pastoral need or prayer request, register for or request more information about ministry opportunities, or find assistance in responding
to the Gospel. CARE cards are distributed at the beginning of our
services and turned in at the end of our services. If you would like to personally share
a prayer request or if you need pastoral care today, please visit one of our pastors
down front after each service. You can also ask questions or sign up for our next
Journey Class which is scheduled for Jan. 18.

nominate 12 men for this honor. On Nov. 30th Alec Arthur, Doug Coggins,
Ronnie Garren, Tim Goode, Craig Goodman, Tony Halford, Robert Haynes,
Lamar Levi, Dwight Lynch, Dickie Ownbey, Chuck Sproles, and Joe Thompson,
and the 2015 Proposed Budget were presented to you for prayerful consideration.

On Dec. 7 Mud Creek members affirmed the nominated deacons by 99.8% and
affirmed the 2015 Proposed Budget by 98.1%. Thank you for your part in the
Biblical process. We ask that you continue to pray for all the leaders of Mud Creek
